Patient Care

The Division of Medical Genetics is home to clinical teams (physicians, genetic counselors, nurse practitioners, nutritionists, social workers and others) that are committed to identifying and understanding the causes and outcomes of genetic disorders. Our goal is to practice precision medicine by tailoring medical treatments to the unique characteristics of each patient. By diagnosing patients with rarer or more common genetic conditions and understanding the causes and outcomes of these disorders, we can develop individualized care plans and provide genetic counseling and prognostic information to patients and families. Our clinicians and care teams provide access to available approved therapies for genetic disorders in addition to actively participating in the development of new treatments for patients with rare diseases.
